A gene such as PDGFC that colocalizes with T2D, fasting insulin, WHR, HDL, and TG, all in adipose tissue, is a stronger candidate for a role in lipodystrophy, whereas a gene like SLC2A2 with liver colocalization for T2D, fasting glucose, triglycerides, and BMI may be more relevant to the liver/lipids cluster. This evidence concerns the gene PDGFC and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
